Subject: RE: [gentoo-dev] Kernel problem
My /boot directory is /dev/hda1 - it contains both the bzImage and the
menu.lst. The root system is at /dev/hda2
The Grub menu comes up, and I can select a kernel to boot off of, no
problem.
My grub is set up with "root (hd0,0)" and "setup (hd0)")
My menu.lst specifies root as (hd0,0) and
Kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda2
Am I missing something?

This is usually the result of specifying incorrect filesystem parameters
to the boot loader. Are you keeping in mind the array-like numbering
scheme (012345...) for disk partitions when configuring grub? Are you
remembering to turn that logic off and name your root partition as the
OS
understands it for the kernel parameter 'root='?
